Hill International Awarded CM Contract for PennDOT’s I-95 Central Access Philadelphia (CAP) Project at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia
May 19 2022 - 10:00AM
Hill International (NYSE:HIL), delivering the infrastructure
of change, announced today it was awarded a contract by PennDOT
District 6-0 to provide construction management for the Central
Access Philadelphia (CAP) project, which will replace and expand
the existing cap/bridge structures over Interstate 95 (I-95) and
Christopher Columbus Boulevard along the Delaware River waterfront
in Center City, Philadelphia.
Once complete, the CAP will support pedestrian and vehicular
use, as will the extension of the South Street pedestrian bridge
from the east of I-95 over Columbus Boulevard to the attractions of
Penn’s Landing. Work will involve reconstructing the viaduct
connection between Chestnut and Market Streets at Penn’s Landing,
building a section of the Delaware River Trail along Columbus
Boulevard, and repairs to underwater concrete piles in the Penn’s
Landing area. Ultimately, the cap structure will cover 12 acres of
the interstate trench. This ambitious urban infrastructure project
is scheduled for completion in 2026 and is estimated at $225
million in total project costs.
The I-95 CAP will reconnect Philadelphia’s busy Center City
Waterfront with the restaurants, theaters, and shops of South
Street and the Bella Vista, Society Hill, and Old City
neighborhoods. The project is expected to spur an influx of private
development and further renovations and expansions along the
waterfront to accompany open park spaces and underground parking,
pending the final design. The project is funded by PennDOT, the
William Penn Foundation, and the City of Philadelphia, and will be
guided by the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation, a regional
economic development agency.
Hill’s services for the project will include implementing a
project controls system; design, construction, and other document
reviews and management; addressing any challenges related to public
concerns and contractor claims; schedule analyses; conducting value
engineering; general construction management; and other as-needed
support.
Hill First Vice President, Philadelphia Operations Mark
Dickinson, PMP, said of Hill’s award: “Our team has worked with
PennDOT District 6-0 on projects in Philadelphia and environs for
decades, including supporting the reconstruction of I-95 through
the city. This award is an opportunity for Hill to put all of our
Philadelphia construction management best practices and lessons
learned to good use for Philly residents and visitors.”
Hill CEO Raouf Ghali, added: “The I-95 CAP project is a perfect
assignment for Hill. We are proud to be headquartered in
Philadelphia and know the City and PennDOT well, we are experts in
road and highway infrastructure projects, and we specialize in
complex, multi-stakeholder undertakings. We are all excited to
bring this transformative project to fruition for our city.”
